about

A song about Traytown, a town which neighbors Glovertown. The town received its name from the remnants of birch bark trays discovered by archaeologists which were theorized to have been used by the Maritime Archaic peoples, the ancestors of the Beothuks.

lyrics

The maritime archaic peoples
No longer living
Extinct as a culture

They left their legacy behind
In the ground
Where their bones are found

Forever remembered
As the children of the sea
Their birch tree heritage

Red ochre
Painted faces
Ancient spirits
A deceased identity

The mountains bear scars
The earth bears skulls
Arrowheads with dried blood
In a wigwam on the shore

Honored now
In name only
Maritime archaic
Echoes through eternity

Their legacy in birch
The trays of family traditions
Left to petrify in cold dirt
